What is GTCA?

Our burden is to gospelize, truthize, and churchize America to raise up at least 250 new churches in the United States and Canada. This long-term labor is part of the one, unique work of the Lord to propagate His testimony to build up the Body of Christ (Acts 8:1; 16:5; 1 Cor. 15:58; Eph. 4:12, 16; Rev. 1:20). The basic unit of participation in this burden is vital groups or churches. Groups of saints are encouraged to pick up a burden for a city with the goal of raising up a church in that city.
